MAssILLoN, o., July 7, 1887,

MAssILLoN, o., July 7, 1887
To the MINING JOURNAL.
Thinking, porchance, an epistolary attempt
ON my part would not be unappreciated by
your subscribers, and by my personal friends,
yielded to the opportunities, internal and
external i'll their character, and decided to
submit few items for publication in your
paper.
About year ago. after finishing my school
course, | found myselfin northeastern Ohio,
having migrated hither at the solicitation of
friends for the purpose of launching my
little skiff on the great sea of business life
My first location was Youngstown, a city
old, however in the ways of this world. 1t
has q population of 25,000, whose chief
avocation is the manufacture of iron, steel
ETC., and is truly an iron city, perhaps, un-
fortunately so as when the iron trade is dead
Youngstown experiences business decay
most detrimental to capitalists, business
men and the mass of working people. In this
particular it is not unlike Georges Creek.
While at Youngstown l had the pleasure
OF meeting some of Frostburg's old residents
Owen n. Evans and family Daniel Smeltz,
now foreman at the American tube works,
the largest plant of its kind outside of Penn
sylvania. 1t was also my happy lot to meet
Will B. Jones, whose energy, application to
work, duty and general business qualifications
have established for him an enviablc reputa-
ton. He started as grocery clerk at small
salary. BY studying at night he fitted him
self to handle set of books. The esteem in
which the Youngstown Ice company held
him is CONCLUSIVE evidence of his great
ability. He is now bookkeeper in the Bank
of Wick Bros & Co., one of the largest and best
banking establishments in northwestern Ohio.
AT the last spring election he was nominated
by the republicans as township clerk and
elected. 1t has been rumored that Mr.. Jones
is sabout to be married to Miss--, of your
town. If such be true Frostburg will lose
an accomplished daughter-but who would
object when her prospective future is so bright
Having occasion to visit Beach City, Stark
county, l unexpectedly met Matthew Hove

brother of your esteemed citizen and my for
mer neighbor, Patrick Hoye. By the way, Mr.,
Hoye has launched on the sea of politics and
is now the township assessor. In the same
town resides J. T. Getty, a brother of Hon.
w. r. Getty, sf Garrett county. Mr.. Getty
is postmaster under the democratic adminis-
tration and has been a leading man in enter
prise and business undertakings. He is and
has been a director of the Wheeling and Lo-
rain railroad, which connects the Lakes with
the Ohio. Many more of the citizens of North
eastern Ohio, especially in Stark and the ad-
joining counties, are descendants of Maryland,
who came hither when the Indians roamed
over this undulating region Of the Allegha-
ny foothills. My letter is almost too long,
else it would be pleasure to describe the
thrifty little city of fMassilon, where the writer
resides. Hoping the above will suffice and
serve the intended purpose, l remain, very
truly, A FORMER RESIDENT.

of christian character and spiritual joy, and
incurs the displeasure of God, who cannot
look upon sin with allowance.
Finally, christian consistency requires a
course of conduct worthy of our profession,
honorable to the gospel, and in unison with
the purpose Of Christ in our calling. God by
His grace hath called us to bear His image,
to be partakers of His divine nature, and to
be priests unto Him. Jesus Christ labors to
conform us to HIMSELF to purify our hearts
by divine love, to make us vessels unto glory
We have been chosen in Him before the
foundation Of the world, that we should be
holy and without blame before Him in love-
The Holy Spirit seeks to expel sin from the
world, from our hearts, and to adorn with
purity and grace our inner man.
80 let our lips and lives express
The holy gospel we profess"

BreUitfes.-The Literary, Social and
Moral Society held reception at the
residence of H. B. Shaffer Tuesday
evening.
Look at the bold-face statement of
a terrible accident in F. C. Beall's ad-
vertisement on fourth page.
The Borden Shaft Boys will hold
grand picnic to-day at Wright's Cross
ing, onc-half mile south of town. A
good time is expected.
Two good girls, cook and nurse, can
learn of employment by application
at once at this office.
The JOURNAL recently stopped at
the st. Clair hotel, Martinsburg, w.
Va, Brown & Cooper, proprietors.
The house is one of the most COM
modious, best appointed and best kept
establishments one will find outside
the large cities, and travellers that way
could not do better than stop. The
elder proprietor, James H. Brown, in
boyhood contemporary of the JOUR-
NAL as an indivinual, showed us such
alked attention that we are here
melted to acknowledge his kindness
by suggesting to others stopping in
Martinsburg to drop in on him.
Messrs. c. j. Orrick, administrator,
james Kane and Mrs. w. ]. Gooding
have advertisements on this page.
The JOURNAL recently accompanied
Joseph Bear through his new dwelling
on the avenue, and, briefly stated, it
is probable no other house in the
county is so prettlly and uniquely
furnished. From parlor to kitchen
the furniture is of the newest patterns,
and the equipment of the best qualities.
1t would be too tedious to ''inventory"
the outfit, but everything useful and
ornamental, is pretty, novel and re-
eherche. But few couples start house
keeping so completely and handsome
ly equipped. Joe's energy and tact
have made him meritorious of all his
fortune, which includes that pinnacle
of earthly joys-a good wife.
A nice little paragraph about Gus.
VIM. Zeller will appear next week.
Mrs. DR.. Fitch came near stepping
on rattlesnake at st. John S rock last

of the reptile and found eight rattles
and button.

pany will be here next Friday and

new railroad between Piedmont and
Cumberland are settled, but it does
not follow that designs destructive of
the canal as a waterway have been
lulled to eternal sleep.
The canal rs canal was never more
in danger than it is to-day.
The fight for its life as a water thor
oughfare must soon come. Most prob
ably it is now on the wing.
1t must be determined whether it is
to continue as a carrier competing for
the trade of this region, or turned
gion seeking to take our trade from
us.
The county convention of the party
in power i'll this State, lately held, de-
clared preference" for governor
which suggests very sympathetic re
lations between the president Of the
canal company and the Elk Garden
interest.
In doing this at all the convention
went beyond any authority the people
had given it.
In doing it at this time it grossly
misrepresented the sentiment and
welfare of this county.
The vital question remaining is
how many times more this year the
people will permit this double miscar
riage to take place
We say this year, because next year
the legislature will have the destiny of
the canal to dispose Of.
And if Allegany county is repre-
sented in that body as it will be in the
next State convention of the democrat
ic party, Allegany county will be on
the wrong side of tie canal question.
AT the close of a strong article re-
pudiating Col. Baughman as the
choice Of the Frederick county dem
ocracy for governor, the Union says:
IHelc are very lcN, IL any, WIZ uO llOt
already know that he is utterly unfit by
education, ability requirements or political
association, for much less dignitied positions
than that of governor.
The case of Allegany county is
parallel.
He was no more an issue before the
primaries here than Eugene Higgins,
and, as the Union says, the leaders
would as soon think Of nominating
Higgins as Baughman.
But the preference" of this con-
gressional district, nominally for
Baughman probably, will not bestow
the ownership Of % votes upon him.
Not at all. The votes will belong to
those who created them in the image
of the popular will, and will be dis
posed of finally just as though Baugh-
man had never been heard of.
How does the Allegany county del
CATION like the medicine
How does Col. Philip W. Avirett,
chosen delegate by fourteen ffteeHths
Of the county convention--how does
he fancy the scheme which divorces
from Frank Brown his long and open
'preference'' and transfers it to Col.
Baughman?
